Energy Healing Series Hi, I’m Maryam Webster. Yep, that’s my real name, and here are some important facts to help you understand real quickly, who I am and why I do what I do: Teaching myself to walk again after being hit by a drunk driver and almost a decade recovering from a broken back and paraplegia (with doctors predicting permanent paralysis), plus losing over 115 pounds gained while bedridden, are only two of the many ways I have “done the impossible” in my life. I quite literally, walk my talk I have no time for bullshit, am a straight-shooting reporter in the news I bring, and coaching I do with you, and you can always depend on me to tell it like it is. I’ve exceeded all rational expectations like this so many times, that I have come to specialize in doing the impossible for both my clients and myself. I don’t accept limits others might wish to place on me, and neither should you. When I was healing from the paralysis and broken back pain in recovery during my thirties, it took me an eternity of

Imagine a flower, such as the lotus right above this, you have a center, petals closest to it, another set of petals that cover those, as well as a third set that cover the previous. When I speak of Essence I often imagine this flower for its symbolic relationship to people’s lives. The soul or Essence is our center, it is who we truly are at our core. But we all have many talents and those talents, just like the petals, are Expressions of Essence. I have found that the farther you are from the center with your activities the less satisfied you are with life, the more you feel something is missing or you are not aligned with your purpose. I call the overall picture the Essence Spectrum. It can be used as a gauge or scale in helping you re-calibrate and perform activities that are closest to your center thus allowing you to Live Your Essence. Below is my Essence Spectrum: Allen’s Essence: Spiritual Teacher & Creator Expressions of Essence (starting with the closest to farthest on the Essence

In September of 2011 Michael Russer began a personal transformation that included a diagnosis of prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy, follow up intensive radiation treatments and full blown impotence. While most people would call it a tragedy, he considers his resulting impotence to be one of the biggest blessings in his life. It is because of his impotence that he and his partner discovered an entirely new approach to experiencing levels of emotional and physical intimacy that far exceeds anything either experienced prior to when things were working “normally”. An approach to deep connecting emotional, physical and spiritual intimacy that is available to all couples who are truly open to it. It is his personal mission in life to serve other couples who struggle to truly connect on a deeper level due to impotence or simply because they have lost their “spark” and use his communications skills to share what he has learned worldwide.
